NEW PRODUCTS FOCUS
Monitoring Light Induced Degradation (LID) System |
|
LayTec announced the launch of LID Scope—the first commercially available system for simulation and monitoring of LID. LID Scope is a table-top system that helps to quantify the expected performance loss of any solar cell directly at the line or in the lab. The tool performs accelerated or real-life degradation tests fully automatically and delivers highly reproducible results and a permanent monitoring of Voc changes by integrated metrology. These features make the tool an inevitable part of quality control and production optimization in PV industry.

Benchtop Scale Fermentation Systems |
|
Cleaver Scientific announced the release of proSET—an innovative new range of benchtop scale fermentation systems designed to provide an optimized cell cultivation solution for applications including growth of sensitive and fragile mammalian and insect cells. The proSET One combines space-saving design with operational versatility and affordability. Optional expansion modules allow you to add additional devices to further enhance the capability of the system.
